</para>

<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_user_unit()</function> will

retrieve the systemd unit name (in the user instance of systemd)

that the process is part of. See

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

</para>

<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_slice()</function> will retrieve

the systemd slice (a unit in the system instance of systemd) that

the process is part of. See

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

</para>

<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_session()</function> will retrieve

the logind session that the process is part of. See

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

</para>

<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_owner_uid()</function> will retrieve

the numeric UID (user identifier) of the user who owns the slice

that the process is part of. See

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

<!-- and

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-user-sessions.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> -->.

</para>

<para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function> will

check whether the capability specified by

<parameter>capability</parameter> was set in the effective

capabilities mask. A positive return value means that is was

set, zero means that it was not set, and a negative return

value signifies an error. See

<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>capabilities</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>

and <varname>Capabilities=</varname> and

<varname>CapabilityBoundingSet=</varname> settings in

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

</para>

<para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_permitted_cap()</function> is

similar to <function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function>,

but will check the permitted capabilities mask.</para>

<para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_inheritable_cap()</function> is

similar to <function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function>,

but will check the inheritable capabilities mask.</para>

<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_connection_name()</function> will

retrieve a descriptive name of the bus connection of the

peer. This name is useful to discern multiple bus connections by

the same peer, and may be altered by the peer with the

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_name()</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>

call.</para>

<para>All functions that take a <parameter>const

char**</parameter> parameter will store the answer there as an

address of a NUL-terminated string. It will be valid as long as

<parameter>c</parameter> remains valid, and should not be freed or

modified by the caller.</para>

<para>All functions that take a <parameter>char***</parameter>

parameter will store the answer there as an address of a an array

<parameter>c</parameter> remains valid, and should not be freed or

modified by the caller.</para>
